Answer
Hi Kaylie,

To find a lost hamster:

First, close every door in your house (upstairs and downstairs).  Then, pick up any wires that are on the ground.

Gather a bucket, a towel, and some books.  Line the bucket with the towel; then, with the books, make a little staircase leading up to the bucket.  Then, place a piece of apple in the bucket.  With any luck, your hamster will end up safely in the bucket.

Also, place a piece of apple in each room of your house.  Keep checking to see if the apple has been eaten.  Wherever the apple is eaten, then you'll know your hamster is in that room.

I hope you find your hamster soon!

If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask :)
